Meet Luxa! (With pictures)

Hi, i'm new here, and I just wanted to show you guy Luxa. I got her back in July, and she was quite a handful in the beginning. Now she's perfectly tame.

Here's a picture of her around september:

Here she is in october:

December. Looking pretty


And here she is in January:


Luxa has a love for greens and exploring new places. When i let her run around she'll bump into walls and try to climb them. I was also wondering if her growth rate is normal. When I got her in July she was about 5 inches long. Now she's 13 inches.

Hi there. What have you been feeding her? She looks beautiful. She doe have all the proper lights and everything right?

 

[Sierradragon]

Yep. I've been feeding her crickets, waxworms, and fresh greens.

 

[rjay45]

That's great. Have you tried dubias? my beardie loves them.

 

[JuJuB]

Beautiful beardie! Her orange markings are gorgeous! I also agree with rjay. My little male beardie loves them (hates crickets ) and they're packed with a lot more protein.

Is she named after the charecter in the book Greggar?

 

[Sierradragon]

Why yes she is! I'm glad someone recognized the name. Have you read the entire series?

 

[Alexos]

Wow is she ever gorgeous!

I have a update on Luxa. She hasn't eaten in 3-4 days. She's eaten 6-12 large crickets every day. I put some greens in her dish and even waxworms, her favorite treat. She didn't touch any of them. I have some more info about her, in case anyone can find out whats wrong with her. She weighs 4.60 oz. She's 14 inches long, and about 8 months old.

I would lay off the wax worms as they are very fatty with little in the way of nutrition. Fed daily or as a staple they can cause fatty liver disease. Wax worms should be fed, if you wish to feed them rarely. They are like candy to a beardie and not good for them. Better worms would be phoenix/repti worms, silkworms, hornworms, even supers as long as shes 16 inches or so long.

I got her to eat a few crickets yesterday, and i've been having to force feed her Repashy. Repashy is sort of this power loaded with nutrients. All you have to do is add water.
